AQW614E

Solid State Relays

Solid state relays (SSR) are an important part of any control system. An SSR is an electronic switching device that has no moving parts, meaning they are perfect for applications which require an extremely long life span. They have also been known to provide high frequency switching capabilities, making them extremely versatile devices. The AQW614E is a series of solid state relays manufactured by the company Autonics.

AQW614E Application Field and Working Principle

The AQW614E is a series of Solid State Relays suitable for use in industrial automation, as well as in consumer and commercial equipment. It features surge proof characteristics, load current from 1A up to 10A, and Zero-Cross switching for inductive/capacitive loads. Additionally, the AQW614E is significantly lighter than previous models, allowing for easier installation in tight spaces. The AQW614E series is capable of providing high-speed switching, with response time of less than 10ms. The AQW614E also has LED indicators for fault detection, as well as optical isolation for safe operation.

The AQW614E operates using Zero-Cross switching, which is a type of electrical circuit operation that triggers when a voltage is created between two terminals at an exact moment. This type of switching is mainly used in systems that control the switching of motors and relays. Zero-Cross switching provides several advantages over standard switching methods such as less wear and tear on contact points, higher response time, lower input power required and improved life expectancy due to the lack of contact points.

The AQW614E also uses optical isolation, which is a technique employed to maintain electrical insulation between two circuit components while allowing a controlled coupling of the signal. Optical isolation shields the device from surges, internal electrical components, and extraneous electromagnetic interference. It also reduces the need for insulated wiring, as the AQW614E does not require a physical connection between the the controlling and load circuits, allowing for a safer and more efficient system.

In addition to the electrical and optical advantages of the AQW614E, it also improves the system’s reliability due to its high vibration resistance and long life span. The longevity of the AQW614E is further extended by its patented heat dissipation design, which provides superior heat dissipation in the event of extended overload or high speed switching. This also prevents the AQW614E from overheating, which can lead to permanent damage.

The AQW614E series is the perfect choice for industrial automation, as it provides the dependability and performance required at an affordable price. It is the perfect choice for both commercial and residential applications, providing customers with a reliable, low cost alternative to traditional methods of electrical switching.
